Omega Chronostop Ref. 145.009
vintage wristwatch, 1967
A stainless steel
manually wound fly-back chronograph wristwatch with grey dial Omega introduced the
Chronostop Ref.145.009 in 1966. The unusual chronograph movement allows
the centre seconds hand to be used either as a constant seconds hand or
to time events up to one minute in duration. The pusher for the
chronograph will start the seconds hand running when pressed for the
first time, pressing a second time will automatically zero the seconds
hand to the 12 o’clock position. This function can also be used to
synchronise the watch to a time signal if the seconds hand is kept in
its running position. Technical details Omega manually wound calibre
865 movement with lever escapement, 17 jewels, mono-metallic balance,
21,600 BPH, Incabloc shock absorber ; matte grey dial, applied wedge
shaped baton numerals with luminous dots above, luminescent hands
(please note that luminescence will have naturally dulled with age),
orange chronograph seconds hand; stainless steel case with satin
finished bezel, screw-down case back, Omega crystal and winding crown;
case, dial, movement and crown signed. Width excluding crown: 35mm -
